    Borke did his job as a reserve, no question about that. You say "Ethridge lost to riders he was expected to beat" do you really think Etheridge was expected to beat Harris, Worrall or Vissing? I can't imagine anyone expecting that.

    As a Scunny fan pleased with the points ,hope Charles is ok but let’s talk about the track . It was the worse I’ve seen for entertainment it was gate and go plus there was a lot of riders getting in trouble on bend 4 . One last gripe why was the programme not correct ?? to much writing and changing names due it not been printed with a correct race card

    A lot off If buts and maybe,s if lee hadn’t failed his drug test pretty sure Glasgow would have won at Berwick if the team manager gave Borke 7 rides you might have got bonus point
  7. ragdoll64
    Got to agree…..after seeing Borke at Ashfield last season riding the boards I had him pencilled in as a Tiger for this year’s team. I’ve yet to see Starke riding a wide line so he tends to become vulnerable when the dirt moves out.

    From a Berwick perspective I think tonight was far more positive than negative, I have no doubt as has been mentioned that if Glasgow hadn’t had Claus we would’ve taken the bonus point and potentially the meeting. If Sedgy had started how he finished maybe even then we could’ve stolen the bonus point. Kemp looked the best he has looked so far in a Bandits race jacket and despite nobody really setting the world alight we hung in there till the end. Next Friday at Armadale is make or break for our chances of qualification, a must win if there ever was one.

    It was either Basso or Bomber, but Claus would've fitted with the current line up, which is why all the head scratching. Again only guessing but on 30p/mile (or whatever they're getting) it's far cheaper from Berwick than it is from Denmark, that's the only reason I can think of.

    Home Advantage, eh?

    It doesn't fit in with the topic of this thread, Bob...

    At Berwick and Ashfield yes, wait till he gets the joys of armadale and Plymouth.
  12. Cast1rn
    100% he should've waited coming off bend 2 or 3 he had the speed, just up the inside and pushed him off.

    Controlled pressure don’t have to win by much,well managed
  14. Fromafar
    Borke is a snip on that average.
  15. Fromafar
    Ace’s move on Hodder was rash,he would have probably got him before the end of the race if he used his head.
  16. Cast1rn
    Would've probably lost the meeting without Claus, as everyone has mentioned not a single Glasgow Fan understands why he didn't get back in the 2024 team. Pearson looked tidy, don't forget at #2 he will never score big when paired with bomber, Steve worrall seems to be getting out the traps quick which is good to see. Starke was gating, but Christ there was no speed in his bike on the straights and he was having to ride defensive alllllllll night. I wasn't sure how Hagon would come back after his hip injury last year, but he's one hell of a classy fast rider, just a shame he lost it bend 3-4 when going round Rory. Ace started well, after the hodder crash just seemed to struggle. In all honesty think we dodged a bullet tonight, a defeat tonight would've put the BSN trophy out of sight.

    Think starky did ok tonight paid 8 from a 4 point rider is pretty decent he used his head in his last heat to team ride with Sam to keep Borke behind but was struggling for speed suppose lack of riding doesn’t help either
  19. Yearbyred
    Confirmed as Justin Sedgmen now guesting for Charles.
  20. scaramanga
    shame charles missing still a lot of workington fans remember how good charles was for workington and win or loose id rather have both teams at there own full strength and a good entertaining meeting
  21. Fromafar
    I look at it differently. Borke beat the the riders he was expected to beat Ethridge lost to riders he was expected to beat. Etheridge is our 3rd Heat Leader, Im not interested in what Etheridge done at Home My point is Etheridge is poor away from home therefore a weak link. Drew won 3 races tonight away from home.
  22. Gazc
    Was surprised that we never asked about Borke as it was clear he couldn’t get to grips with Armadale. From memory he was very impressive at Glasgow last season and again tonight. Berwick have won a watch getting him this season, Kemp very impressive also it was the heat leaders that let them down tonight.
  23. emilali
    Not just on about this evening. He’s proven over the years hes spent with Berwick how inadequate he is and frankly I find it baffling why he was given another go this season.
  24. szkocjasid
    Wasn't at home match so can't comment on how good the riders looked, but Etheridge only lost to Glasgow's top 3, while Borke didn't beat any of Glasgow's top 3. Also Borke dropped points to Pearson & Starke, Etheridge didn't. So could any more be expected of Etheridge & did Borke only score well because he met weaker opposition?
  25. Gazc
    Doesn’t need the practice he has always been a class act around Ashfield. We would have struggled to win that tonight without him , signing Flint was always a project as he has never been impressive at Glasgow , but I am sure he will improve at his new home track under the supervision of his mentor.
  26. Fromafar
    He was only a couple seconds out,not sure what pit communications were but he did seem rather casual going round to start.
